After the headaches of my Land Rover Freelander, and a sober realization that love for a bad car doesn't make it a good car, it just makes a bad car more expensive, I decided to cut my losses in February 2013 and trade the Rover in on an Audi TT. It's a car I've wanted since the new body style came out in 2007, and despite my resignation that I'd never be able to acquire one, I was able to make it happen.
